Love Is Stronger Than Hate - Acoustic

[Verse 1]

Where I come from, you need to learn to fight

And follow in the footsteps, what your father thought was right

Marry the girl you met in school, get two kids and pick-up truck

That disappeared in the rear-view mirror the day they call ya up

[Chorus]

Write me, send me, don't forget to call

Whisper softly you’ll be there if I fall

Turn off the news, shut off the world, home is where you are safe

Reach me, teach me love is stronger than hate

[Verse 2]

Ended up a soldier in a foreign land

Two tours of Iraq and two in Afghanistan

Didn't think I'd make it out, but your photo got me through

When I got back, you could see I’d cracked, and I wasn't the same to you

[Chorus]

Hold me gently, take me in your arms

Whisper softly, "They'll never do you harm"

Turn off the news, shut off the world, home is where you are safe

Reach me, teach me love is stronger than hate

[Bridge]

Lying here alone at night firing rockets from my bed

No one else can see them 'cause they're only in my head

Sam Cooke's singin' my favorite song, "Try a Little Tenderness"

That sweet melody drifting by as I convalesce

Is that your hand clutchin' mine?

I just want your hand clutchin’ mine

[Chorus]

Oh, hold me gently, always let me know

Whisper softly you’ll never let me go

Turn off the news, shut off the world, before it's all too late

Reach me, teach me love is stronger than hate

Love is stronger than hate

Love is stronger than hate
